Mehlman Vogel Castagnetti

Mehlman Vogel Castagnetti (MVC), founded in May 2004, is a "bipartisan government relations firm that provides clients with a full range of services including coalition management, legislative and executive branch lobbying and guidance for political activities." [1]

"Republicans were outraged when CBS aired its now discredited story attacking President Bush’s National Guard service. Not Alex Vogel. His new lobbying firm won its first major media client when it was hired by CBS parent Viacom to repair the damage," Bill McConnell wrote June 27, 2005, in Broadcasting & Cable.

"The former chief counsel to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) left Capitol Hill and teamed up with former White House technology policy chief Bruce Mehlman in May 2004 to form a lobbying shop with impeccable GOP connections," McConnell wrote.
